The Thriller - “Strangers on a Train”
By Craig Warner
Directed by Andrew Wilson
Performances begin at 7.30pm
From the Novel by Patricia Highsmith
A dramatisation of the novel which is substantially different from the well known Alfred Hitchcock film. In 1950s America two strangers meet on a train; Guy Haines, a staid architect, and Charles Bruno, a flamboyant, charming but unstable playboy. Being strangers they ‘...can say anything they like...’. As they discuss the dilemmas of their lives Bruno suggests a solution which draws them into a nightmare from which neither can wake. |

In 1894 Vivie Warren, a self-confident young woman, graduates from Cambridge with outstanding brilliance. The world is at her feet. Suitors or careers could claim her future. But one idyllic summer evening her mother reappears, in the company of the sinister Sir George Crofts. Vivie is impelled to investigate her own good fortune and the exact nature of ‘Mrs. Warren’s Profession’. Banned from public performance for many years this drama is a landmark of the English theatre.
